"Lan Meiren, I haven't seen her for a few days, it's more plump than before, it's good, it seems that the treatment of the beauty is much better than changing clothes and always being there, and it can be regarded as a good thing done by the mourning family."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lan Xi was extremely disgusted, just now Gonggong Chen kept talking about the promotion of the Queen Mother, and as soon as she entered the hall, she said this, as if she was afraid that others would not be grateful, and this kindness was not given in vain!

Lan Xi said expressionlessly: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, the slave maid is toothless and unforgettable!" ”

The Queen Mother heard her dissatisfaction, but she remained silent: "You are a child with a heart, and you will be greatly rewarded for such a grateful person." That's it, Xiao Chenzi, go and pass the message to the queen, Jinlan beauty is a talented person, and she will go through the formalities tomorrow! ”

Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, she thought of everything, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to send her here for this! After being excited, I secretly admired this old woman's power, if the literary website did a good job, the queen would definitely promote her, the old woman simply started first, and fell into this favor in advance, whether she wants to or not, this favor is unsettled, hey, it seems that she has to do something for her to repay the favor.

However, promotion is always a good thing, Huo Panpan once said that if a woman in the palace wants to avoid the worries of becoming a nun and keep her glory and wealth and grace her family, she must be above the fifth grade, and when she is promoted, she is only one step away from that goal, haha, if the website is done, she doesn't have to worry about it, and the queen will also promote her.

Thinking about it again, there is no harm in the Queen Mother wooing her, it shows the importance of her Lanxi, the queen mother will value her more and treat her preferentially, if she resolutely does not take refuge in the Queen Mother, the queen will also be grateful for her loyalty, maybe the reward will be more and more real money. What's more, the queen is just using her, isn't the fake jewelry case she concocted an example? Do you still want to treat her with a heart?

Lan Xi's mood quickly brightened, and he immediately kowtowed with joy and thanked him.

"Well, good! Flat, give a seat! ”

Lan Xi sat on the pier, as if he had returned to the days when he was very favored when he first started to implement the harem's thrifty charity plan.

"The mourning family invited you to come because I want you to do me a favor."

Oh my God, no, I speak so politely, and I actually use the word "please". Lan Xi understood that he could no longer be as bright as before, and the rules still had to be followed, so he immediately pretended to be flattered and knelt down: "The Queen Mother, please command, Lan Xi is just a slave of the Queen Mother, how can He De let the Queen Mother be so polite?" ”

"The mourning family has always treated you as your own person. As the saying goes, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the harem thrifty charity plan you formulated at the beginning has now found that there are many loopholes, and the mourning family can't figure out how to solve it, what can you do to solve it? ”

Lan Xi almost laughed out loud, the methods she proposed to the queen to "replace the money with awards" and "break the whole into zero" hit the queen mother hard, making her deflated but there was nothing she could do, but Lan Xi had expected that the queen mother had come to her for this matter, how could she attack her shield with her own spear?

She pretended to be taken aback and knelt down: "What did the Queen Mother Chitose say?" Got a loophole? What vulnerability? Can you make it up? ”

"Hey, what you said at the beginning was about deducting one-tenth of the monthly silver of the concubine, and now the queen actually implements what kind of reward is used to replace the money, only one-tenth of the monthly silver is issued every month, and the remaining nine-tenths are all paid in the form of rewards until the end of the month. Also, the expenses of more than 50,000 taels of silver had to be approved by the mourning family and deduct one-tenth of it into the charity fund treasury, but they didn't know where they got the idea, it was obviously an expenditure of more than 50,000 taels, but they reported the plan separately, and each plan was less than 50,000 taels, and the mourning family could not stop and deduct it. ”

Lan Xiqiang couldn't hold back a laugh and got up from the ground, and patted his head again and again with regret: "How can this be good?" It's all to blame that the original plan was formulated too hastily, and the slave didn't care about it after it was implemented, but if you calm down and think about it, you will find that there are loopholes, and take measures to make up for it in advance. ”

In fact, Lanxi has a way, to deal with the "substitution of prizes" can adopt the method of collecting charity taxes, whether it is a reward or a reward or a reward, as long as the masters have income, they must hand over one-tenth as a charitable fund, and it is really implemented to deduct more than before.

In addition to the clothing, jewelry, food, supplements, daily necessities and palace decorations provided by the palace masters, the rest of the expenses, including the construction of the palace and shopping outside are classified as "luxury", no matter how much the expenditure, a "luxury tax" of one-tenth will be levied. This amount of money is definitely much more than one-tenth of the expenses of more than 50,000 taels.

No one would have thought of this method, because taxation has always only been for grass people, and there is no such thing as taxation in the palace.

However, Lan Xi is a good boy who talks about credibility, and he has already made up his mind to join the queen, so how can he fall the grass on the wall casually? Of course, this coping method should be buried in my heart for the time being.

However, although the old lady of the Queen Mother relied on the first strike to make her owe a favor, she always had to pay it back, and it depended on how to pay it back.

"The Queen Mother is Chitose, the harem is your old home, and the masters in the palace are all your children, don't worry too much about the slaves, it's better to look outside the palace."

The old face of the Queen Mother was wrinkled, and her eyes were shining: "You mean?" ”

"The Queen Mother forgot? The thrifty plan is mostly outside, and you must not catch the sesame seeds and leak the watermelon! ”

"At present, there are still three things that have not been done: one is to organize fundraising among the harem concubines and court wives on a regular and irregular basis; the second is to mobilize the country's wealthy businessmen to donate; The third is to hold a personal auction. ”

In fact, this is all the things mentioned in the plan, the fastest money, but the queen mother has been in the palace for many years, and she has just had the power to only care about the power in the palace, and she has not had time to implement it, Lan Xi just reminded her to take a long-term view, and not to get along with the people in the palace.

"Good, good! Aunt Hui, reward this child! She didn't say that I forgot about this stubble, it's really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! I'll start doing it tomorrow, and I'll finish these three things by the end of the year! ”

Of course, the Queen Mother knew what Lan Xi meant, and she also knew that she had a grudge against her, and she refused to help sincerely, but she was a smart person and knew how to avoid harm and seek profit. Just as she was about to send someone to send her back, a little eunuch with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes came in and looked at Aunt Hui.

The Queen Mother soon saw it, her expression changed, Aunt Hui immediately took the little eunuch to the side hall, and soon came out to whisper a few words to the Queen Mother, Lan Xi intuitively had something to do with herself.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother lowered her face and spoke: "Lan Meiren, I heard that you have done something for the queen "Implementation Plan of the "Concubine Murmur Literature Network", what is going on, how dare you hide such a big thing from the mourning family?" ”

Lan Xi was shocked, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to put her eyes and ears in Kunning Palace, she knew about this matter so quickly, and she didn't know if the queen would have time to ask the emperor for an edict at this time? What if the Queen Mother wants to intervene before the holy decree is made? Just as he was thinking about how to answer, a eunuch outside said loudly: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Lan Xi's heart fell back into her stomach, it seems that the queen has taken care of everything, otherwise she would not have come.

The queen walked in with a high spirits and saluted: "The daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother!" ”

The Queen Mother pulled an old face and replied with no joy or anger: "The queen is exempt!" Throne! ”

The queen thanked her and sat down, did not look at Lan Xi, and said respectfully with a humble smile: "The daughter-in-law came to report to the queen mother for something." The queen mother, please see, this is the implementation plan of the "Concubine Language Literature Network" specially formulated by the daughter-in-law in order to better manage the harem and make the life of the masters more fulfilling and happy, and is ready to open a literary website in the palace, with personnel appointments on it. ”

After reading it, the queen mother unsurprisingly pulled an old face, and the queen waved her hand: "Aunt Hui and Lan Meiren stay, and the rest retreat!" ”

There were only four of them in the empty hall, and the queen sighed and said, "The courtiers are ashamed of the queen mother! Originally, the position of website consultant was held by the queen mother, and the daughter-in-law wanted to wait for the emperor's decree to give the queen mother a surprise, but who knew that Hua Guifei pestered the emperor to be a consultant, and the emperor was confused and agreed! How can she have the talent and wisdom of her mother, and what qualifications does she have to be a consultant? But the decree has been issued, and neither can the daughter-in-law! ”

A trace of hatred flashed on the queen mother's face, and she quickly calmed down again, and said casually: "The queen has a heart, it's hard for you to remember the mourning family, but the mourning family is old and has little energy, you can look at the website, as long as you support the charity plan, the mourning family is preparing to carry out fundraising activities among the harem concubines and court women in the near future, and the queen must vigorously support it!" ”

The queen still replied respectfully: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the daughter-in-law will give her full support!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, with the support of the queen, this matter will definitely be successful." There is one more thing, the mourning family has just issued an order to promote Lan Meiren to be a talented person, it's late today, tomorrow you send someone to go through the formalities! The mourning family won't leave you for dinner, you can take Lan Meiren to Kunning Palace to listen to the promotion admonition! ”

The queen was stunned, the queen mother actually grabbed the post of Lanxi in front of her? But he quickly smiled and said goodnight and retreated.

When she arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen lowered her face and took Lan Xi directly to the inner hall, except for Lin Ruoruo who ordered everyone to retreat, Lan Xi knelt down: "The queen mother sent someone to spread the slave maid and didn't dare not go, as soon as she entered, she decreed that she would be promoted to the position of slave and maid, in fact, she just wanted to ask the slave and maid to come up with ideas to deal with the method of "substituting rewards for money" and "breaking the whole into zero". Never half-hearted! ”

Empress Gui snorted and laughed: "Lan Meiren, where do you want to go?" You are so anxious to let Huo Changzai come to report the news, can this palace still believe you? As for the promotion of you to a talented person, it was because the Queen Mother had already guessed that the palace was going to promote you before she fell first, and the palace understood in her heart, but it was good to be promoted early! ”

Lan Xi put his mind at ease and hurriedly thanked him, but Queen Gui's face changed: "This palace is a slut with gas petals, pestering the emperor to be coquettish and stupid, so he has to be a consultant!" I'm afraid that she will mess up when the time comes! ”

Petal? Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, and soon understood that it was Hua Guifei's maiden name, and it was too creative.

"Niangniang is angry, you forgot what the slave said, "Consultant consultant, ask if you take care of it, don't ask if you don't care about it", if she wants to do it, let her do it, just leave her aside and don't ask! ”

Empress Gui was overjoyed: "That's right! Hongu was so confused that he forgot about this! In this case, let her be the consultant, she will not get any benefits and offend the queen mother, and let the emperor feel that she is not troublesome! Lan Meiren is really a caring person in this palace, if so, then reward a hundred taels of silver! ”
